Culture / Re: How Do I Convince My Igbo Husband To Teach Our Children Igbo by AndreUweh(m): 12:52pm On Nov 24, 2013 |
Just concentrate on speaking Igbo to your child while the father continues with his english language development. The child will pick up both and even another. Kids are like that. Most children born outside Igboland speak Igbo, English and the language where they were raised. |

WOW, great atmoshere at the stadium. But Italians outnumbered us. We were even joining their Mexico waves. It was also interesting seeing two Afrcans play for Italy (Ogbonna and Balotelli). Am sad that Nigerians did not fully fill up the Putney end. 1 Like |

Culture / Re: Yoruba Language Slowly Nears Extinction by AndreUweh(m): 12:39am On Nov 17, 2013 |
ladionline: Hausa language is the commonwealth of west Africa. At least the habe Hausawa aren't involve in self conscious, online 'supremacy tussles' going on here. But it seem their language is secured than that of the southy. book is now declared 'haram' by a violence inclined section of the youth. As for the extinction of the Yoruba, i like to say the future is full of suprises. Are we God? 'O si nsoro bi Olodumare!' Lion is kin-ni-un, dont expect names for animals that are not of Yoruba fauna however popular, e.g. kangaroo or penguin. Ekun is the general name for all big feline in Yoruba. Sotan?In essence and bu your logic, Hausa language should assimiliate those languages. Why can't people help to sustain those languages that were created by God just like Hausa language. Too bad. |

Some of you guys who come here to tell us that Igbo or Yoruba language is on the verge of extinction surely haven't travelled round Nigeria. Attention should be diverted to the north where the Hausa language are swallowing the minority languages at a very fast rate. 1 Like |

igbo boy:You don't speak Igbo properly because you were raised outside Alaigbo. But your cousins in Igboland speak the language. You can not judge Igbo lang with Igbo population outside AlaIgbo. If you go to AlaIgbo and Igbo language is substituted for another language, that should be a worry for you. Amongst all the languages I know of in West Africa. Igbo people are the ones pushing hardest in promoting their language. Here in the U.K, there are so many Igbo language schools and I know the attendance level. Even, Christine Ohuruogu the golden girl attends Igbo language school in London. Yet I haven't heard about other Nigerian language schools in the U.K. Though some Igbo people do not make enough effort to learn the language, not all are like that. For example, I did not study Igbo language in secondary school in Ibadan because of the reason you all know. But I sat for Igbo language in GCE in Ibadan and made excellent grades due to Igbo lessons organised by Catholic nuns inside the Ibadan versity campus. There were many of us then. Nigerians should just worry about those languages in Adamawa, Bauchi, Kaduna, Cross River etc that are disappearing hugely. 2 Likes |

How on earth can a language spoken by over 40 million people world wide go into extinction?. You guys are joking. Even those Igbo who speak Hausa in the north or Yoruba in the west still speak Igbo language. One thing with Igbo people is that they are quick learners and quick learners learn languages so easily. Instead of chaps here to be mentioning some languages in Adamawa or other Northern states that are spoken by 30,000, they are busy emphasizing on Igbo language. Imagine a language that is thought in higher institutions in Nigeria and in 7 states in Nigeria. For your information, Igbo language has come to stay. 4 Likes |

0monnakoda: They are over 17 mostly. I would say the average age of that team is close to 19- 20 but this is not as bad as previously.They are a promising bunch and I hope they can move into a professiona club set-up quickly. I am sure some will already have been noticed by top clubs. Under 17 competition is not as important in Europe an I guess that is why we did not see much of Fabregas and Ramsey etc at that level. Bendtner played his first game for Arsenal at 17 so these guys need to be with clubs if they are going to make progressThey are all under 17. Its true. |

Culture / Re: NO Nigerian Language Has A Literal Translation For “I Am Sorry”! by AndreUweh(m): 8:36pm On Nov 04, 2013 |
In Igbo and Yoruba which I understand to some extent, I'm sorry doesn't exist but there are substitutions for that e.g Igbo--emehewo m. Meaning I have sinned. Yoruba usually say é pele. |

Afam4eva:I still maintain that Igbo doesn't have to do anything for them to accept Igbo as Nigeria doesn't have to do anything for us to be Nigerians. The day they will succeed in being anything they want is the day Ndigbo will come together to dissolve the Igbo nation so that we will Have Nnewi, Udi, Arochukwu, Mbaise, Afikpo, Asaba, Elele etc. Since Ndigbo are not prepared for that, those groups still remain Igbo. Those who deny it will still suffer in identity crisis. 1 Like |

Afam4eva:They do not need to gain anything from Ndigbo to be accepted as Igbo. Do we need to gain anything from Nigeria to be Nigerians?. Nigeria as a country does not afford us basic amenities required for human existence yet we do not deny that we are Nigerians. Nigeria does not provide us with electricity but we buy power generating plants, Nigeria does not supply us with tap water yet we drill boreholes. Nigeria doesn't provide us with security but we hire guards yet we are Nigerians and do not deny it. I pity those of them who deny Igbo as it worsens their identity crisis. What a shame. 1 Like |
